Very friendly staff, clean rooms and centrally located in Cork. They advertise onsite parking when in reality there’s about 12 spots and it’s first come first serve. They have an agreement with a parking garage for a discount rate but it’s down and hill and requires you to walk down/up stairs. Besides that, everything was great and we would stay here again. Our bartender Shanice was amazing.

This was probably my favorite hotel of all the ones we stayed during our tour of Ireland. It was once a hospital and has a lot of neat history. It is located in the Shandon area, very near some beautiful Cathedrals. It is a bit of walk to the actual shopping, but would definitely stay here again. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We stayed in a family room, and it was perfect! King bed in the center, twin beds on each side!

The hotel staff were very polite and helpful. The small onsite parking area was closed for construction so parking was a bit of a problem. The hotel did validate the offsite parking fees which was very helpful.

Good hotel if you’re looking for somewhere near to Cork city centre for either Cork visits or a base for wider touring of the area. 5-10 minutes walk from the centre and there was parking on site. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast choice was good. We didn’t have other meals there so can’t comment beyond that. Our room was big, comfortable and clean although the bathroom could maybe do with a refit soon… slightly tired compared to the rest of the room. The hotel overall was clean and modern. It was quiet in our room despite the hotel having a lot of guests. Recommended for a short break in Cork.

I love this hotel with is quirky nature. Renovated from an old hospital. The history and photographs are amazing. Parkig on site is limited but you can be lucky to get a space here. Worse case scenario there's another carpark near the hotel for a reasonable price. Staff are very friendly and for the age ofvthe building its very clean and well presented. A great spot
